Prohibition In Iowa.

CHICAGO, April 2l.-A special from
Des MoineS, Iowa, says: Governor Lar
rabee has written a letter in reply to m
inquiry FROM the secretary of the central
committee of the prohibitory campaign
of Texas in regard to the workings of
prohibition in Iowa. The Governor says
that in eighty out Of ninety nine counties
of the State prohibition is enforced, and
in the remaining nineteen counties it is
partly enforced that no property has
been deprecated by its enforcement, as
the closing of the saloons makes room for
better and more legitimate business that
the enforcement of the law has had no
noticeable effect upon the population
beyond causing the removal from the
State of some incurable dispensers and
perhaps incurable consumers. The eff:
fects of prohibition upon the general
welfare and habits of the people, he says
are decidedly wholesome. The prohibi;
ton sentiment is on the increase, and
there is no doubt that prohibition is an
established power in Iowa.

A Word to Mechanics.
BIRMINGHAM. ALA. April

BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 20.
DEAR INTELL1GENcER Let me say
word to the mechanics of Anderson
County who are thinking Of coming
West. have been here more than one
month, and believe that I can now say
like Birmingham. At first I did not
like the place at all, but after staying q
while became better satisfied, and now
think there is no other place 80 good
as Birmingham for laboring mechanics to
get employment. All who will come
can get work. Board and house rent is
very high, but wages are good. Ordina.
ry carpenters $3.50 to $500, good car
penters $3.50 to $500 per day, ten hours.
Brick masons from $500 to $500. Me.
chanics can rely on the above statement.
/ expect to remain here for some time
yet, and if any brother mechanic wants
further information will gladly give it
to him, or any friend.
But just let me say right here to those
who have good homes and doing we'll :
My advice to them is to stay at home,
especially if you live in Anderson
County. w. a. STEPHENS.

independence of which they are capable
by following only ono occupation. Ag
riculture is the basis of all prosperity,
and should be encouraged and assisted in
every possible way, but it can't prosper
alone. = The pursuits and industries OF
every community must be diversified,
and it is so done in every prosperous
country in the world. Labor is the cap,
.ital of a country, and should be applied
in all the pursuits which any particular
location, climate, and facilities favor and
invite. Then each pursuit aids all the
others, and they all grow and prosper
together. We pay at Piedmont sl20, 600
a wear for labor and services, all in
money. Land has advanced in that
immediate vicinity five hundred per
cent: since the mill was built, and the
people for miles around are prospecting as
they never did before. They understand
the meaning and effects of diversifylng
the pursuits of a community.
No inland town in this country can, or
ever did, or ever will. grow and prosper
beyond limit measured by local
demand for the supplies required BY a
limited area of country around it, without
diversified industries in it, by its own
people producing such commodities as
they are prepared to make, and in which
people are employed and paid money for
their labor. Railroads don'G build up
towns. They afford facilities for the
development of such enterprises and
industries as the location favors, and
without these industries the people will
not prosper beyond the limit 1 have
described. Trade cannot be pushed
proftably beyond its legitimate limits.
Ifa town fails to utilize the advantages
afforded by superior railroad and other
facilities, then there is great danger that
its legitimate trade may be carried away

that is the product of labor and is sold
elsewhere-so that the consumer pays tor

mercantile interest will grow and prosper
as the necessity for it increases, and as

attention and trade.

CONTRACTS OF MARRIED WOMEN.

s. An Anderson Attorney Of eminent
ability, writing to the -Mews and Courier
{ upon the probable effect of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court, signs
himself with the initial 3D." and says
The recent judgment of the Supreme
Court and the dissenting opinion of
! Judge. MCGOWAN in the case of Aultman
s & Taylor vs.. Rush ct al, published in
. full in your columns, is bringing to light
large numbers of obligations of. married
women given for borrowed money, mer.
3sclsandise and the like, to the great dis.
: comfort ef creditors.
IT is still hoped that the Court will
con6ne its judgment to the class of cases
here decided, and that it shall apply
only where the wife is surely for the
husband. IF so, the harm resulting to
!. creditors will not be so disastrous, and
they may still take hope that the Court
will not feel bound by much Of. the dicta
appearing in The opinion, and will yet
aiYrotect their interest in all other classes
of cases. ,9a
These creditors have been misled if
these hopes are not we'll founded. The
words Of the Constitution and Acts of
the General Assembly providing for
married women to acquire and hold real
and personal property, for contracting
and being contracted with in regard to
their separate estates and the right of
homestead against their debts, were well
calculated to lead. them into the belief
that such contracts were valid. Indeed,
the Judgments of the Court were 30 clear
and positive as to the validity of such
dbets, that it was thought the words ''as to
their separate property" afterwards in.
<serted, simply limited it to the specific
property against which judgment and
execution could issue. It was we'll cal
culated to lead to this conclusion, for the
same general Act Revised Statutes of
1897 also embodied the provisions for
homestead exemptions for married
: women already engrafted in the Consti-
tuHon. ,ge
This provision of the Constitution and
Act Of Assembly are nullit:es, if the
Judgment Of the Court applies to con.
tracts Of married women generally, for
the same Jaw does not pernit them to
claim such exemption where it is for
the benefit of their separate estates. The
same law (Code 1882, Sec. 296, subdivis.
ion A. provides that in an action brought
BY or against married woman Judgment
may be- given against her, as we'll for
costs as for damages, or both. for such
costs and for such damages in che same
manner az against other persons, to be
levied and collected. Of her separate
estate, and not otherwise. Now, it is
clear that such costs. and damages are not

shops where it is built, generally send
out their men for that purpose. They
prefer to do it; and then after all, the
success or failure of mill depends upon
its management inside and outside, after
it has been completed and ready to start.
1t is a great mistake to suppose that the
difficulties end when it is completed and
ready to start. They commence from
that time. 1t requires q greater variety
of talent to manage mill properly, 80 as
to get out of it all that is in it, than any

to make money is more frequently than
otherwise the result of bad management.

treasurer; and on the other hand if they
are badly and expensively made in the
mill, no amount Of good mercantile and
financial ability afterwsrd can prevent
them from being sold at loss. But
these difficulties can be practically over
come, or the danger of them very much
lessened, by the exercise of good judg-
ment in the selection of your superinten.
dent and overseers, and your president
and treasurer, with reference to their
peculiar fitness for their respective posi-.
tious. They may require some education
which will be at the expense of the
stockholders, but if they have natural
ability and application they will succeed.
If they don't apply themselves they will
fail.
If this mill is built and skillfully and
successfully managed, the advantages of
it to your town and county can hardly be
estimated, and you never will appreciate
it until it has been done and you have
realized it.

eventually will, learn that they never can

Not So Very Large.

A rather good story is told at the ex-
pense of Ira Shafer, the great legal ex-
FOUNDER, of New York. Some five years
ago Mr. Shafer had occasion to appear
in one of the courts of Providence, r. I.
Of course, he appeared for the defense.
AS a New York attorney he naturally
put on few frills, which did not en-
dear him to the Court and the other at
torneys in the least. Finally a ruling
of the Judge threw the bumptious Mr..
Shafer into a state of mind. He ex-
pressed his opinion as to the provincial
ism of Providence, and intimated that
he was not receiving the consideration
due a distinguished representative of
the New York Bar. ''Look here, Mr..
Shafer," said the Judge, ''we all under
stand that you are a New York lawyer
of distinction. New York is a big
city, too; but if all the rascals and shy,
sters were sent to the penitentiary, il
wouldn't be a bit bigger town thar

Remarkable Career of the Map
Who Owns Montana Regent.

heard of John d. Morrissey, whose offer
to back his horse Mentana Regent
against "Lucky" Baldwin's Volante for
$4,000 in Observation-Disclosures race
was published in yesterdays Republican.
Five years ago Morrissey was working
for 81 day in one Of the Leadvllle
mines. To-day his check for s., 0OO, 900
will be honored by any bank IN the
country, and he OWES some OF the rich
est mining property in the Centennial
State. His career has been as remarka-;
BILE as that of the lucky San franciscan
whose money he is .vcrning to WIN.
Morrissey is an Iriskman, about.
thirty-fve years of age. When he an!

His illiteracy did not trouble him much
until he began to climb the ladder to
wealth and was forced by circumstances
to mingie with the brains, culture and
capital of the great Carbonate Camp.
Then he employed private tutor and
studied hard until he was able to sign
his name and read the signatures OF
others.
Morrissey's ascension to influence was
very rapid. He learned practical min

ana TTEIOtHy.

Clover and timothy are the main re-
lance of most farmers for meadows and
pastures, with the hope that the natural
grasses will "come in" and take the
place of the kinds sown when they die
out, as they often do, in a few years.
Glover scarcely survives longer than two
years, and the timothy fingers along,
gradually disappearing, until in few
years, on light soils, it is all gone.
Where the aftermath of timothy is not
pastured off, the roots will retain their
hold on the soil longer but when the
crowns are left bare, it is not uncommon
to see q whole field killed out in one
winter. In very rich ground clover may
be kept alive for several years, but it
cannot be depended upon longer than
for a second crop. More hay can be had
from the usual seeding of clover and
timothy than from any other. The
clover occupies the land the first year
almost exclusively the following year
it becomes thinner, and the timothy
forms most of the crop each year after
ward. Then its place is gradually taken
by red-Top, blue-Grass, or the more
common wire grass natural to all of the
Eastern and Middle States.---Ameyicaa
